AI is a cancer

WHY ARE YOU USING THEM IF YOU THINK THEY ARE UNETHICAL?!??

this is objectively hilarious

Just came from a local organizing meeting & my god people the cops are never ever ever ever gonna be on “our side” especially in a police state Our imaginations have been so captured we can’t imagine our way out of this trap it’s literally the #1 obstacle ppl want to rely on what made this possible

The Walton family surely does

So proud of @vanessashieldshaas.bsky.social and the work she is doing to get care to every corner of Maine. abcnews.go.com/Health/maine...

Cruelty is the point. The city I live in will shoulder disproportionate harm related to this cut and that sucks. Food is health. Food is a human right. Cutting food support is a far-reaching form of violence.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Again, I'm in the cheap seats here just watching the show, but the fact that the richest Americans are acting with such open contempt for the rest of the nation seems not just bad for the country but possibly *really* bad for their own fates too. They're making a different bet now, it seems.

Not this time, SCOTUS. You’ll have to pry my wedding band off my hand.

the kids are alright

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight. Read more of our protest coverage here: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

I don’t really understand the people who think we shouldn’t situate the current moment in context of the last 25 years in American politics, including the actions of the three Democrats who were president during that time

The United States has never needed to be "controlled" to do genocide. The United States isn't an uwu smol bean empire with an uwu smol bean Pentagon and uwu smol bean world's largest carceral state. We're directly responsible for genocides against multiple Indigenous nations,

LOSER SHIT

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

# of paragraphs for news orgs to mention there's no discernable need to deploy troops to Portland, Oregon The Guardian: 1st paragraph BBC: 4th paragraph AP: 5th paragraph Time: 6th paragraph Politico: 8th paragraph NPR: 9th paragraph CNN: 10th paragraph NBC: 12th paragraph Fox News: never mentions

War torn Portland (2025) 😞

Subtly downgrade a band: Bikini Maim

Uh, the man operating as President of the United States has illegally deployed the military into another US city with the intention of provoking dissent that will be met with lethal violence, and you want to negotiate with the people who think this is fine? What the fuck is wrong with you?

LOL how precious.

Not that different, buddy. Disgusting then, disgusting now.

Tylenol is fine. FFS.

Think once, think twice, think DO NOT PUT MANUSCRIPTS UNDER REVIEW INTO AI

An alarming number of people in positions of power seem to be completely unable to distinguish good from evil as long as the evil is spoken in a reasonable tone of voice by a white man in a suit

The effort to paint Charlie Kirk as some sort of model for practicing politics and a beloved figure across the spectrum is bizarre. Just a month ago, South Park was mocking him pretty mercilessly.

All violence is political violence.

These are your words of the week posse comitatus monopoly funicular hoax charlatan philamot www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/the...

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

You know it’s wild times when you are agreeing with Rand Paul.

America heartbroken to discover president somehow still alive

all of this makes total sense when you recognize that “freedom” here means the freedom to dominate those you view as your subordinates and “tyranny” is when someone threatens that “freedom” or worse, when those subordinates try to claim power as political equals

I see you, Illinois leadership. This is the way.

Kidnapping and exiling your neighbors is a kitchen table issue.

Plus: Who gets to decide what counts as "kitchen table"? -If your spouse—& their income—are disappeared by ICE: Kitchen table. -If your birth control failed & you're forced to keep the pregnancy: Kitchen table. -If your department was cut for being too ~woke~ & you lost your job: Kitchen table.

been at the eric adams scavenger hunt all day. mostly we were in a crawlspace under a house in howard beach learning “how to out-hustle the rats.” not sure what this does for the campaign

We are thrilled to have one of our esteemed contributors @barronlerner.bsky.social write this fantastic essay about our book "Do Less Harm: Ethical Questions for Health Historians" for the @hastingscenter.bsky.social bioethics forum. Read it here www.thehastingscenter.org/lets-not-era...

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This shit makes me nuts. The end of expertise and the triumph of base anti intellectualism is going to lead to us all dying from vaccine-preventable illness and I’m furious.
